Chapter 333: Chapter 333, female scholar Enke

Lu Chen gestured for the palace servant to bring a chair for Qiao Jinniang.

Qiao Jinniang sat down and said, “There is a saying among the people that a county official is not as important as a county official. Although the county magistrate is a high-ranking official, many farmers will never see the county magistrate in their entire lives. It is better for them to have more power than Li Zhenglai.

For them, they would only defend their home and country if the northern desert, Xiliang, and other foreign tribes invaded..

As long as there was a rebellion, they would not be loyal to the emperor. To the people, it was the same for the emperor. It could be the Lu family or the Wang family or the Li family.

In times of war, the people would just drift along with the flow. Those who were unlucky would be recruited into the army as soldiers. They did not even know who they were fighting for.

It was clear that the most important thing in the country was the People’s hearts. It was how to win the hearts of the people in the world.

“It is not like the lords are staring at the affairs between the husband and wife of the emperor. If you are not ashamed, I am still ashamed!”

The faces of the officials turned red from Qiao Jinniang’s words.

Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s hand and said, “The Empress is right. You are all pillars of talent. Think more about how to make the hearts of the people live better and better. The right path is for our great Tang’s national strength to flourish.

“Don’t keep staring at the matter between me and the Empress. If there’s a next time, resign and return home by yourself!”

Since Lu Chen had already said this much, what else could the officials say? They only felt that the mugwort stick to their teeth very..

When the people from the imperial hospital came.

Lu Chen said, “The imperial hospital is the head of the great Tang’s doctors. The few imperial doctors have superb medical skills. The old ye hospital has been in the imperial hospital for many years. When the late Emperor was in the imperial hospital, he was already in the imperial hospital. But now, he doesn’t even have the courtesy, justice, and shame of a doctor!”

Old Man Ye was already sixty-five years old and his medical skills were superb. He would be leaving the Imperial Academy of Medicine in two years.

Old Man Ye would never have thought that he would be reprimanded by the emperor at this time.

Lu Chen said coldly, “From now on, Old Man Ye and imperial physician ye are not allowed to practice medicine in great Tang. Imperial Academy of Medicine will have imperial physician Fu as its new chief.

If in the future, any medicine used by the nobles in the palace is spread outside the palace, then they will be executed according to the Law!”

The officials who still had to plead on behalf of matriarch ye did not dare to come and plead for mercy when they heard the word ‘execution’.

Matriarch ye almost fainted when she heard that she could no longer practice medicine. Her son, matriarch ye, was even paler.

Qiao Jinniang took a sip of tea calmly, but in her heart, she thought that she deserved it.

Whatever medicine the Emperor took, they would just obediently prescribe it.

But the father and son were like gossips who went outside the palace to say these things. They deserved to no longer practice medicine in Chang ‘an!

In the Hong family.

Hong Qifeng was preparing for the exam when she suddenly heard a commotion in the front hall.

A servant girl said, “It’s great-grandmother ye. The Old Academy and Imperial Physician Ye were both dismissed by the emperor.

The emperor did not allow them to practice medicine in great Tang anymore. The great-grandmother of the Ye family said that it was the madam who caused the ye family to suffer.

She only told the madam that the Emperor was using the pill to avoid children, but after that, everyone in the court knew..

They are currently making a ruckus in the front hall.”

Hong qifeng sighed, “Close the doors and Windows…”

..

At the end of February, before the weather had warmed up, it was the first time that more than ten women had taken part in the ENKE examination.

Most of the teahouses among the people were there to watch the show, and they all felt that these women might not be able to get a good title.

However, when the results of the Enke Palace examination were released, the name of Hong Qifeng, who was among the top three, shocked everyone in the court.

On the ranking of the top scholars, Qiao Ruoyi was also among the top.

At the bottom of the ranking of the top scholars, Qin Miaomiao’s name was also on the list. Fifteen women participated in the imperial examinations and three of them won. Two of them were among the top. This made many women feel honored!

For a time, the number of female students in West Mountain Academy increased by quite a bit.

The hundred-year-old Qingming Academy also made the banner of recruiting female students. Even the Imperial College no longer had to be harsh on female students.

Families with daughters who were capable and did not intend to send them to the academy also thought that it would be better to send them to study.

In the Changle Palace.

Qiao ruoyi smiled and said to Qiao jinniang, “Sister, our West Mountain Academy has really produced a female scholar!

His Majesty once said that if West Mountain Academy produced a female top scorer, he would allocate funds to West Mountain Academy. Is that true?”

Qiao Jinniang replied with a faint smile, “Yes.”

After Lu Chen ascended the throne, he had already allocated funds to West Mountain Academy. Nowadays, there were more and more students going to West Mountain Academy. Qiao Jinniang thought that perhaps it would be divided into two schools.

Moreover, West Mountain Academy was remote. It should also open a female academy next to the Imperial College.

Qiao Jinniang said, “Hong Yang has raised a good daughter. Hong Qifeng is only fifteen years old now before reaching the marriageable age..

“If it’s another five or ten years, she’ll be a rising star. If she can become an official in the imperial court, it’ll be considered a woman’s blessing.”

Qiao ruoyi said, “Yes, she’s indeed extremely powerful, but I’m not bad either.”

Qiao Jinniang smiled and rubbed Qiao Ruoyi’s head. “Yes, my sister is also very powerful.”

At the Qionglin banquet, it was the first time that there was a female top scorer this year, and it was even livelier than usual.

Hong Qifeng was very young, but she was also very generous. Everyone came over to propose a toast, and she drank them all.

Hong Yang and Young Master Hong helped to stop her, but Hong Qifeng also drank quite a lot.

In the end, she was dizzy.

Qiao Jinniang let Hong Qifeng Rest in a palace. After all, it was still quite cold on a cold spring night. It was not good to drink wine and walk out of the palace door to let the cold wind make the new top scorer fall ill.

Although Qin Miao was at the bottom, she was also a middle-ranking scholar. This was considered to be extremely powerful. Moreover, she was about to marry Yue Zhan. After Hong Qifeng left, there were many people who came to toast her.

Qin Miao had never had such a tolerance for wine. However, Qiao Ruoyi was sitting beside the empress. No one dared to toast her. Hong Qifeng had left again, so naturally, they came to Toast Qin Miao.

“I really can’t drink anymore…”

“Today, Miss Qin has become an intermediate scholar. This wine should be drunk, it should be drunk!”

Yue Zhan looked at the new scholars surrounding Qin Miaomiao from afar. He went over and snatched Qin Miaomiao’s wine glass. “Aren’t we going to toast? This general will drink with you all. Today, let’s drink until we’re drunk.”

When the new scholars who were toasting saw Yue Zhan, they did not dare to toast again.

However, Yue Zhan held them back and drank them all. How could the new recruits not give Yue Zhan face? They could only drink the wine in one gulp.

The Qionglin banquet only ended when it was 11 am.

When Qin Miao left the palace, he was already drunk.

Yue Zhan drank the new recruits to the ground. However, he was also quite drunk. Yue Zhan still retained a bit of consciousness and wanted to send Qin Miao back.

However, upon reaching the carriage, Qin Miao Miao Miao immediately turned her head to lie on Yue Zhan’s lap, muttering, “Yue Zhan…”

The faint smell of alcohol lingered around Yue Zhan’s nose. All of a sudden, he felt something on his lips. The carriage was dark, and the only feeling he had was the woman’s soft lips.

This was the first time Yue Zhan had been kissed away by a woman on his own initiative..
